The pictures are so beautiful, crisp and detailed that it almost looks like they are fake or computer-generated images rather than true visual representations of the world. Hawkes captured these photos from a [twin-engine helicopter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-gaiden-4), which makes them all the more impressive and wondrous. The photos show the world's cities in all their splendour. Hawkes is a bona-fide aerial photography expert, having worked around the world for massive multi-national corporations. He has also published over 40 books of aerial photographers for publishers as wide and varied as the [BBC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/physical-wearables-collection), [Random House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/generated-tools) and Harper Collins.
